achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The Rinchen Zangpo Society for Spiti
Development is an Indian registered charity that
has more than 910 young students receiving their
education under its care. Aid for Himalayan
Education (AfHE) in 2022 contributed to their
educational programme as follows:
Children’s Educational Expenses: AfHE made
contributions towards the educational expenses
of more than thirty children and young people
belonging to financially disadvantaged families
from Spiti or neighbouring areas receiving their
education in Spiti or elsewhere under the care of
the Rinchen Zangpo Society for Spiti
Development.
In the short term these children can thereby
realize their educational potential much to a
greater extent than would be possible by other
means in Spiti Valley. When adult they, or some
of them, can contribute to the welfare of their
society in significant ways. For instance, before
the Rinchen Zangpo Society began its
educational programme, no child educated in
Spiti had ever become a doctor and such
government posts in Spiti remained vacant for
lack of anyone willing from outside or qualified
from within Spiti to fill them. Now there are four
doctors occupying government posts in Spiti who
were all educated at Rinchen Zangpo Society
schools. They were in the front line in
successfully combatting the spread of Covid-19
in Spiti during the pandemic.
There were other general donations from our
charity directed towards improving educational
provision in Spiti. Aid for Himlayan Education
raised this money almost exclusively in the UK
and delivered it to Spiti.
The 1stMickle Trafford Rainbows a UK junior
girls activity group shared gifts and a video with
their counterparts at Munsel-ling, a Rinchen
Zangpo Society for Spiti Development school in
Spiti, on the theme of Caring about Accessible
Education. Aid for Himalayan Education
facilitated this cross-cultural exchange.
Communications: Aid for Himalayan Education
maintained the Rinchen Zangpo Society for Spiti
Development’s website and composed and| edited its newsletter. One trustee visited this year and his report has enabled us to evaluate the future of our partnership with the Rinchen Zangpo Society for Spiti Development. This marked thirty years of Aid for Himalayan Education’s involvement in work in Spiti Further financial assistance went to the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamsala, India ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
